That's a bit of an outdated approach. There is really zero reason to by a Mac especially for music. Cubase, Encore, whatever else you want to run are almost all available on the PC. Unless things have changed recently, stock standard Cubase is mostly sequencing, not notation anyway (I think there is a separate Cubase Score for that). Then there's Sibelius, which you can only get on ARM (I think) and Windows. All of Passport's stuff runs on Mac and PC, for example. Same for all the other manufacturers, like Musicware, MIDISOFT etc. Disclaimer: I get paid to write music software on Windows (not notation, mind you). Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3TYD.
